# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between hot, melty cheese and sweet-tart cranberry sauce is absolutely addictive
  • It comes together in 25 minutes but looks like you spent all day preparing something special
02 -
  • Don't be tempted to bake it longer than 15 minutes or you'll end up with separated cheese and a puddle instead of that gorgeous molten center
  • Score deeply enough to help the melting, but never cut all the way through or all that delicious cheese will escape onto your baking sheet
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet or dish because sometimes a bit of cheese will escape and you'll want to catch every precious drop
  • If the rind on your Brie is particularly thick, use a vegetable peeler to shave some off the top before scoring for easier spreading
